The short answer is yes. Any nationality can buy freehold property in Dubai's designated freehold areas, with full ownership registered in your name at the Dubai Land Department. You do not need to be a UAE resident.
What freehold means
Freehold is full ownership. The home is registered in your name at the Dubai Land Department, and it is yours to live in, let or sell.
What it costs on top of the price
Budget for the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, plus the developer's or trustee's administration fees. On off-plan launches bought through Urban Vibe you pay no buyer commission: the developer pays the brokerage, and you pay the developer's official price.
Off-plan or ready
You can buy a home that is still being built, or one that is finished. Off-plan launches come with a payment plan spread over construction. Ready homes can be viewed, valued and moved into now.
